Dialogue Options-A Video Games Podcast

Greetings listeners! On this week's episode Kyran spends a bit of time in the Quest Log reminiscing about Destiny on its 10 year anniversary and spends some time unpacking the recent update Bungie provided on the future of the series.

Greetings listeners! We're back with another episode after an unexpected delay.

Greetings listeners! On this week's episode we desperately try to sift through the many video game showcases that took place over the weekend (which is also why the episode is a day late) and we've put together a list of several games across the many presentations that caught our attention.

Greetings listeners, Some technical issues occurred while recording this episode, hopefully I've managed to iron most of them out, but if you notice anything odd that might be the cause.

Greetings listeners! On this week's episode we've got a hefty Quest Log where we break down our early impressions on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth now that we've had more time with the game.

We do plan on doing a massive...

Greetings listeners! We're back with another episode! Apologies for the delay, Kyran was feeling a bit under the weather last week and despite the fact that he might not sound much better this week he definitely feels better!

Greetings listeners! It's time to pick our favourite games from the 2023. It was a year jam packed with incredible games and we've managed to name our 5 favourite picks, plus we find a bit of time to offer some praise for a few honourable mentions that didn't quite make the cut. This year is already looking pretty stacked so here's to another year of trying to survive a cataclysmic...
